Global equity markets experienced a very tough month of June, dropping over 6%. The US Federal Reserve's more aggressive stance in getting inflation under control and the subsequent lift-off in interest rates seems to have caused even more recession worries. With leading economic indicators and consumer data points weakening, the broader commodity complex has come under pressure as well. With so much universal bearishness across markets, valuation multiples have clearly de-rated. At the same time, during June we did see signs of life in the growth corner of the market, as some believe rates eventually have to come down again once inflation starts to normalize at lower levels. Clearly, we are not there yet and we do not think a strong market rebound is imminent. As we enter the earnings reporting season, the next shoe to drop is likely a reset of still-too-rosy earnings expectations. This might be the final leg down in equities before we arrive at a tradeable inflection point.

The fund is allowed to pursue an active currency policy to generate extra returns and can engage in currency hedging transactions.
The fund does not distribute dividend. The fund retains any income that is earned and so its entire performance is reflected in its share price.
The fund’s sustainable investment objective is to drive a clear and measurable improvement in a company's contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) over three to five years. SDG and sustainability considerations are incorporated in the investment process by the means of a target universe, exclusions, ESG integration and engagement. The fund solely invests in stocks issued by companies with a low negative to low positive impact on the SDGs. The impact of issuers on the SDGs is determined by applying Robeco's internally developed three-step SDG Framework. The outcome is a quantified contribution expressed as an SDG score, considering both the contribution to the SDGs (positive, neutral or negative) and the extent of this contribution (high, medium or low). The fund actively engages with 100% of the corporate holdings. The fund does not invest in stock issuers that are in breach of international norms or where activities have been deemed detrimental to society following Robeco's exclusion policy. Financially material ESG factors are integrated in the bottom-up fundamental investment analysis to assess existing and potential ESG risks and opportunities. In addition, where a stock issuer is flagged for breaching international standards in the ongoing monitoring, the issuer will become subject to exclusion. Lastly, the fund makes use of shareholder rights and applies proxy voting in accordance with Robeco's proxy voting policy.
RobecoSAM Global SDG Engagement Equities is an actively managed fund that invests in stocks all over the world. The selection of these stocks is based on fundamental analysis. The fund has sustainable investment as its objective within the meaning of Article 9 of the European Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation. The fund invests in companies that are able to have a clear and measurable improvement in their contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) over three to five years via active engagement. The fund integrates ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) factors in the investment process and applies Robeco’s Good Governance policy. The fund applies sustainability indicators, including but not limited to, normative, activity-based and region-based exclusions, and applies proxy voting and engagement. The fund also aims to provide long term capital growth. The portfolio is built on the basis of the eligible investment universe and an internally developed SDGs framework for mapping and measuring SDG contributions, about which more information can be obtained via the website www.robeco.com/si. The fund has a concentrated portfolio of stocks with the highest potential value growth.
Risk management is fully integrated into the investment process to ensure that positions always meet predefined guidelines.
The SDG score shows to what extent the portfolio and the benchmark contribute to the 17 UN Sustainable Developments Goals (SDGs). Scores are assigned to each underlying company using the Robeco SDG Framework, which utilizes a three-step approach to calculate a company’s contribution to the relevant SDGs. The starting point is an assessment of the products offered by a company, followed by the way in which these products are produced, and finally whether the company is exposed to any controversies. The outcome is expressed in a final score which shows the extent to which a company impacts the SDGs on a scale from highly negative (dark red) to highly positive (dark blue). The bar shows the aggregate percentage exposure of the portfolio and the benchmark (shaded) to the different SDG scores. This is then also split out per SDG. As a company can have an impact on several SDGs (or none), the values shown in the report do not sum to 100%. More information on Robeco’s SDG Framework can be found at: https://www.robeco.com/docm/docu-robeco-explanation-sdg-framework.pdf

We have become more cautious on our outlook for developed market equities, as macro risks have clearly increased. Global economic growth is slowing down significantly and we think that the possibility of an economic recession in parts of the world is rising. We also see consumer strength moderating and especially consumer sentiment has turned outright bearish. At this stage we do have to prepare for a scenario where the economic spillover from the invasion of Ukraine is more severe than previously thought. We think that there will be overall demand destruction from surging inflation. We also must not forget about Covid just yet, with several strict lockdowns in China resurfacing once again. All in all, despite valuations having reached more normalized levels, we remain more cautious near term, given ongoing inflation concerns and the impact on equity fund flows from broader geopolitical uncertainty. Our strategy has firmed up on our quality exposure so as to navigate the current environment as well as possible.
